Here are the odds that Norway will win the World Cup in handball
This is the first time the world championship in men’s handball has been played in Poland and the fourth time in Sweden, also the second championship to be held in more than one country.
Denmark are favorites to win the World Cup with the odds-setters at Norsk Tipping, and that might not be so nice. After all, they have won the WC the last two times. You get 2.25 times the bet on Denmark winning the WC for the third time.
Norway is not one of the medal favorites in this year’s championship, although they have taken World Cup silver in two of the last three championships. If you have faith in Norwegian WC gold, it is well paid. You get 17.00 in odds on Norwegian WC gold.
